Don't panic!

Organisation is definitely not one of our life skills.

It seems we've lost the decision making skills as well somewhere along the way. Packing up our flat took a phenomenal amount of thought, time and effort - on the part of Finn & Kirsty, Mum & Dad. Me and Dan were basically useless, just going into fits of panic, and staring around the rooms that weren't getting any emptier.

Hey ho, we're out of our flat in London now. Great news, if you don't take into account that this actually means we're jobless, homeless and flying out of the country tomorrow and we haven't even packed yet!

We had a great time at our leaving party on Saturday, thanks to everyone that came to see us off!!! Jack & Denice gave us a great book called "Point it" - not a good read, but brilliant for those moments you really need to know where the nearest lobster is but don't know how to ask the man on the street - just point at the fab pics in the book and away you go! Dan thinks this could be his ticket to a future life in Finland. Excellent. http://www.graf-editions.de/pointit/point_it_eng.html

Tomorrow we're getting on the plane to Christchurch in New Zealand, so by the end of the week we might have something more interesting to write to you about. Here's hoping! We're going to get some sleep now, it's been a long day for us.

Please make comments and send us emails, we'll want to hear from you and will miss you all loads!

Jen & Dan

Please can you reinstate the 'Things Dan's currently allergic to' section at once. That way we can spend the next year usefully, finding recipes for things you can eat when you're back! Kirsty :-)
